This is bad, bad, bad. I tried using another browser as you
suggested (since I was using Netscape 4.7) and the
session_register worked. I still got different results than you
though.

Using IE 5, I got the same results here as with NS4.7
session id is e49f9b5ddb39388ab48c45dd4f14b00c
session_register did not work
testing is a registered variable
Go to next page.
*But* It did work. So why did session_register return false?

This is the contents of my session file too *when* I use IE for
my browser.

This appears to be the problem. Now what? So I have to forget
about sessions or forget about the multitude of NS 4.x users that
still exist?

I had thought of that one. I increased the permissions to be
world writable and it had no effect.
Thank you for helping me find the problem, now I just wish there
was an easy solution. Arggggggg.
